Trump needs to overhaul the university system for sure at some point.



It's not widely known, but over HALF of Columba University's enrollment is now foreign students. Some of them are people like Mahmoud Khalil, who spent all his time agitating in support of Hamas terrorists.

But if you dig deeper, the true story is even more appalling: Columbia is using the prestige of its elite undergraduate school to bring in thousands of mediocre foreigners who want a Columbia degree in computer science, engineering, or a similar field. Columbia admits them because they pay full-freight tuition, boosting their bottom line while glutting the American job market and lowering wages for STEM workers.

Why are we letting one of America's premier universities become overwhelmingly foreign in order to fund bloated administrator paychecks?

Don't take it from me, the internet is full of Columbia grads complaining about what's happened to their school:

Whose “we?” It’s a private university. It’s their business. If they don’t make good decisions, they won’t do well.

The better question is, why is the party of “small government” telling private organizations how to handle their own business ?

They were still getting federal funding while doing it.

The whole college university system needs overhauled in terms of funding and student loans. The schools should be on the hook a lot more for failing students instead of the govt guaranteed payout to them imo.
